In ARIA 1.1 [1] there is a table row in some rows entitled "Implicit Value for Role". I have two problems with this. First, wow, that name is awful. It implies (apologies for the pun) that it is about a value for role. It is not. Second, when there is content (which is rare) it says things like "Default for aria-live is assertive." That's probably correct, but I need more. Why is this the case? And does it convey this to subclasses of the role if there are any? Enquiring minds want to know. Sorry if this sounds like I am trivializing this. I don't mean to. This category of information about roles is confusing. And I don't feel like this is an area where we really want confusion.
